• Murder
  Similar to personal injury lawsuits, wrongful death suits occur when a person or entity has been negligent or reckless and resulted in harm to another. Wrongful death also covers intentional acts such as a deliberate murder. The principle supporting wrongful death claims is that in addition to injuring the person who has died due to someone else's recklessness, negligence or deliberate acts, the responsible party has also injured those people who were dependants of the deceased. This includes not only those who depended on the deceased for financial support, but also those who depended on him or her for emotional support.
